ン7を介して、内燃機関を始動させているが、近年、車
両エンジン周辺の補機類が増加しているうえ、燃費低減
などが要求されていることから、始動電動機の小形化が
望まれている。As described above, the internal combustion engine is started via the pinion 7 which meshes with the ring gear. In recent years, the number of accessories around the vehicle engine has increased, and a reduction in fuel consumption has been required. Therefore, it is desired to reduce the size of the starting motor.

数を増やす第1の方法と、ピニオン7のギア歯7Gの数
を減らす第2の方法とがある。In order to reduce the size, it is conceivable to increase the gear ratio between the pinion 7 and the ring gear. As a result, it is possible to reduce the weight of the starting motor by an amount corresponding to the increased gear ratio. it can. Specific methods for increasing the gear ratio include a first method for increasing the number of teeth of the ring gear and a second method for decreasing the number of gear teeth 7G of the pinion 7.

がってしまう。However, in the first method, since the diameters of the engine and the transmission increase as the number of teeth of the ring gear increases, it is necessary to increase the size of the engine room when considering each layout in the engine room of the vehicle. As a result, the weight of the vehicle is increased.

重量低減を十分に実現することができない。In the second method, as the gear teeth 7G of the pinion 7 decrease, the shaft strength of the output shaft 6 and the pinion 7
As the tooth root strength decreases, the number of teeth is limited,
Weight reduction cannot be sufficiently realized.

The pinion 7A has an inner diameter at the front end portion 7a smaller than the inner diameter at the center portion 7b and the rear end portion 7c.

的に小さくなる。As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, by forming the tip 7a of the pinion 7A into a drawing shape, a module 2.117 (diametral pitch 1) similar to that described above (FIG. 6) is obtained.
Even when 2) is applied, as shown in FIG. 3, the number of gear teeth 7G can be reduced to eight. As a result, as shown in FIG. 1, the outer diameter and the root diameter of the pinion 7A are necessarily reduced.
